WORSE THAN SMALL POX.
A Great Danger which Meuaces an Unsus.
picious Public.


The Brompton Hospital for consumptiyes, in
London, reports that over fifty people out Of
every hundred consumptives, are victims Of
oonstpated or inactive kidneys.
Consumption Is one of our national diseases,
and the above report goes 10 prove what has
often been said in our columns during the last
eight years, that kidney troubles are not only
the cause OF more than half Of the cases OF con-
sumption, but Of ninety out Of every hundred
other common diseases. They who have taken
this position, made their claims after elaborate
investigation, and their proofthat they have dis
covered specific for the terrible and stealthy
kidney diseases, which have become SO preva-
lent among us, is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them fresh
supply of their wonderful advertising. They
have challenged the medical profession and
science TO investigate. They have investigated
aud those who are frank have admitted the
truth of their statements. They claim that
ninety per cent. Of diseases come originally
from inactive kidneys; that these inactive
kidneys allow the blood 10 become filled with
uric acid poison; that this uric acid poison in
the blood carries disease through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in the
system within twenty-four hours TO kill half a
dozen men.
This being a scientific fact. it requires only
ordinary wisdom 10 sec the effect inactive kid
ncys must have upon the system.
III this poison is not removed, IL ruins every
organ. III the bowels, stomach or liver become
inactive, we know il at once, but other organs
help them out. If the kidneys become consti-
paied and dormant, the warning comes later on
and often when il is too late because the effects
are remote from the kidneys and those organs
are not suspected TO be out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased are unable
to resist the attacks of this poison, and the dis
ease often takes the form OF and is treated as
local afliicli0n, when in reality the real cause
OF the trouble was inactive kidneys.
Too many medical men Of the present day
hold what was a fact twenty years ago. that
kidney disease is incurable, according 10 the
medicines authorized by their code. Hence,
they ignore the original cause Of disease itself,
and give their attention TO useless treating Of
local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine, NOR
phine, or with salts and other physics, hoping
that thus nature may cure the disease, while
the kidneys continue TO waste away with in
Elimination, liberation and decay, and the
victim eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that passes
through the heart, passes through the kidneys.
III the kidneys arc diseased, the blood sOaks up
this disease and takes il all through the system.
Hence il is, that the claim is made that
Warmers safe cure the only known specific for
kidney diseases, cures 80 per cent Of human
ailments, because il, and il alone, is able TO
maintain the natural activity of the kidneys,
and TO neutralize and remove the uric acid, or
kidney poison, as fast as il is formed.
lfthis acid is not removed, there is inactivity
of the kidneys, and there will be produced in
the system paralysis, apoplexy, dyspepsia, con-
sumption, heart disease, headaches rheumatism,
pneumonia impotency, and all the nameless
diseases of delicate women. III the poisonous
matter is separated from the blood, as fast as il
is formed, these diseases, in majority Of cases,
would not exist.
1t only requires particle Of smallpox virus
TO produce that vile disease and the poisonous
matter from the kidneys, passing all through
the system and becoming lodged at different
weak points, is equally destructive, although
more disguised.
If it were possible for us 10 see into the kid
neys, and how quickly the blood passing
through them goes 10 the heart and lungs and
other parts OF the system, carrying this deadly
virus with il, all would believe without hesita-
ton what has so often been stated in advertise
ments in these columns, that the kidneys are
the most important organs in the body.
They may regard thfs article as an advertise
ment and refuse 10 believe il, but that is mat
ter over which we have no control. Careful
investigation and science itself are proving
beyond a doubt that this orran is, in fact,
more important than any other in the system
as health regulator and as such should be
closely watched, for the least sign Of disordered
action.
